And lastly is this gumball machine. I'm still on the fence about it, but I think its so cute. We found it at a garage sale a few months ago and its been sitting in Tatum's closet ever since. I'm a bit scared to put anything in right now. Any thoughts?

Now here is the rooms transformation from start to finish:

and now

This room suits our family needs perfectly and I am so happy with the finished result!

Originally when I saw this table I thought it would make a perfect nightstand for my Master bedroom. After about a day I realized that it was all wrong, but for lack of something better I just left it.

Well a few weeks ago we found some new nightstands at a garage sale for only $5!

They aren't perfect at all but I really didn't want to spend $70 a piece on nightstands, so for now, they will have to do!

The color was similar to the other but they were so dirty that I just decided to refinish them to match my bed.

First I took them outside and sanded them down to get rid of all the imperfections.

Then I started spraying.

I got this nifty little handle that made this step so easy.

Next I sanded the edges down to distress it and then went over it with a wood stain.

Here is the final project:

I think its an improvement.

While I was at it I recovered this little foot stool to match better (plus my Husband spilled shoe polish on it).

Looks like I need to trim the excess underneath :)

Now I am still looking for some pretty lamps to go on my nightstands to complete the look.

Not a bad change for only $5, actually more like $15 after supplies, but still not bad!!
